  • Patent number: 11756770
    Abstract: A post-discharge plasma coating device for a wired substrate comprising an inner tubular electrode on an inner tubular wall for receiving the substrate and a precursor moving axially in a working direction; an outer tubular electrode coaxial with, and surrounding, the inner tubular electrode. The inner and outer electrodes are configured to be supplied with an electrical power source for producing a plasma when a plasma gas is supplied between the electrodes and is thereby excited, the plasma excited gas flowing axially in the working direction and reacting with the precursor in a coating area at the end of the inner tubular wall in the direction. The inner tubular wall extends axially towards the coating area at least until, in various instances beyond, the end of the outer electrode, in the working direction and at least one dielectric tubular wall extends axially between the inner tubular electrode and the outer tubular electrode.
